Labor Day Wedding

Where to begin?! We feel so incredibly lucky to have had our wedding at the gorgeous Wolf Cove Inn this past summer. We knew we wanted to have an intimate and relaxed wedding/reception with our families (and dog!) so Wolf Cove seemed like the perfect venue and when we reached out in the spring, we were thrilled that they were able to accommodate us for our 11-person wedding there less than 4 months later.

During the planning process, Nicole was so wonderful to work with and very responsive to all of our questions. The Wolf Cove micro wedding package really helped streamline decision making, while also enabling us to customize our big day as much as we wanted. We decided to add extra florals and a lobster bake dinner for our party the night before the wedding, which was wonderful! The chefs are so talented – all of the food was so delicious and we also loved the creative cocktails at the beautiful new bar. They even accommodated our desire to have the wedding dinner outside by the lake, where we were treated to the most incredible sunset!

Wolf Cove is truly such a magical place – our entire wedding party felt relaxed from the moment we checked in and went for a swim in the lake until the day we left, after enjoying the sauna/ice bath on the property. Nicole and Geoff are such wonderful and kind people – their passion for their work comes across in all that they do and they made our entire party feel completely at home during our stay. We will certainly be back!

Beautiful Venue! rooms are comfortable and newly updated. Lots of romantic views from every room! A nice spot in front of the lake to get married, we were able to set up seating for 100 people easily. Gourmet breakfast included every morning.

The Wolf Cove Inn was perfect for our small 29 guest wedding. Everyone was able to stay on site the night before and night of the wedding. The wedding fee did seem a bit high considering every room was booked, but honestly we didn’t look at many venues so price may be comparable to similar venues. We were willing to go with the Inn because it really suited our needs. The location right on the lake gave an opportunity for our guests (all but 4 from out of state!) to enjoy a summer weekend in Maine! The grounds are beautiful and provided a lot of versatility for pictures and there was plenty of space for the kids to run around. Sue and Roy organized the dining room furniture at our request and were always responsive when we had a question or wanted to see the space. They provided the bartender, but we chose exactly the type and amount of alcohol we wanted. The one critique I will give is the dining room would have been much more comfortable with A/C. We had to move our music and dancing outside after dinner because it was just way too hot to stay inside (wedding was in July so probably wouldn’t be an issue most months). We stayed in the Sugarloaf Suite which was comfortable and spacious and enjoyed a delicious breakfast each morning. Keep in mind you do have to bring in an outside caterer and rent plates/utensils for the reception. Overall, we had a wonderful experience with the Wolf Cove Inn and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to others!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
